THE SPARTOI (Sparti) were a tribe of warlike, earth-born men which sprang fully grown and armed for battle from the sown teeth of a Drakon (Dragon) sacred to the war-god Ares.

 

The first of the Spartoi were sown by the hero Kadmos (Cadmus) from the teeth of the Drakon of the Ismenian Spring of Thebes. As they were sprouting from the earth, he cast a stone amongst them and they fell to fighting. The five survivors afterwards assisted Kadmos in founding the city of Thebes.

 

A second batch of Spartoi was sown by Iason (Jason) in the fields of Kolkhis (Colchis) on the Black Sea–a task demanded of him by King Aeetes in his quest for the Golden Fleece. Like Kadmos Iason threw a stone amongst the sprouting warriors and they slew one another in battle.

"Chinese water torture" is mentioned in the 1892 short story "The Compromiser"[4] suggesting some public familiarity with the term by that date. It may have been popularised by the predicament escape Chinese Water Torture Cell (a feat of escapology introduced in Berlin at Circus Busch on September 13, 1910).[1] The escape entailed Harry Houdini being bound and suspended upside-down in a locked glass and steel cabinet full to overflowing with water, from which he escaped, together with the Fu Manchu stories of Sax Rohmer that were popular in the 1930s (in which Fu Manchu subjected his victims to various ingenious tortures, such as the wired jacket).

 

Hippolytus de Marsiliis is credited with the invention of a form of water torture. Having observed how drops of water falling one by one on a stone gradually created a hollow, he applied the method to the human body. Other suggestions say that the term "Chinese water torture" was invented merely to grant the method a sense of ominous mystery. The victim would be stripped of their clothes, shown to the public, then tortured. They would be driven insane while bystanders watched, mocked, and laughed at them.[1][3]
